Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The work is affixed to a granite base. Upon very close inspection, there are a few unobtrusive shallow indentations and fine surface scratches to the elements of the sculpture, partially due to the artist's choice of medium. Under close inspection, there are a few non-obtrusive and localized areas of oxidation.
